No. Marx started as a German-style philosopher, decided that was B.S. 
and that he should be a French-style revolutionary, and then decided 
that it was more important to figure out what was going on and became 
an English-style political economist.

Subsequently, the Marxists have recapitulated this development--in reverse.
